hey buddy... spot on with your opinion but am not sure if their shouldn´t be some kind of regulation to the downvoting as such. It very much seems especially in terms of the flaggwars taking place between haejin & co that there is just no such thing as any kind of control, sense or reasoning behind... once "normal criticism" is being punished and pretty much censored through the big players on here nobody really can expect this being an "open" community.
I know that I this is a very sensible topic and many think differently but once peoples regular comments and posts are being flagged down just because one put some criticism out because one doesn´t agree with the general idea what one is doing then something is more then just wrong here...
agreed - the major flag wars are dangerous for the entire community - even there have been agreements no one cares but also it is always the same whale(s) that is taking care of such a problem which is very crucial. But this is reward pool rape, the most tough one for the survival of steemit as such. Mine here is simply covering some society issues - I also flagged obvious spammers and scammers but my Power is too weak, not sure there will be any solution to the big war thing as who should drive it if not the Steemit Inc - they will not - or the big Stake owners - doubt they will as long as they make profits.
spot on bro... don´t think anything will happen until STEEMIT is actually puttin in some kind of regulation on how many posts one can post and/ or how much in upvote one can receive for a single post. Eventhough that would mean you are about to limit steemit as such it would at least show the most of the community that some action is being taken onto the issue.
For the general aspect of flagging your right as well... an individual who is posting - lets say "below average" content and getting rewarded tons of SBD just for the sake of it should defo be questioned... if it happens once in a while ok but if that kind of thing is happening all day long action gotta to be taken
they never will - why should they :-)? They have other priorities such as SMT. Re community rules it is the job of the witness community to agree - the Steemit Inc is out of this I would say - you might as the witness you trust.
